Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing (1988) (Korea Edition)

Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing (1988) (Korea Edition)

By Judi Barrett

I loved the book. It was really silly when the mouse got lost in the clothes. The sheep was too hot wearing it. The only thing I would change is the length. I wish I could have added more animals. I recommend this book to other kids.

Otis and Will Discover the Deep: The Record-Setting Dive of the Bathysphere

Otis and Will Discover the Deep: The Record-Setting Dive of the Bathysphere

By Barb Rosenstock

In this very exciting book, you will travel to the deep beyond with Otis Barton + William Beebe and see many odd creatures. Will the journey go smoothly or will something go wrong? Join the duo as they discover the deep. I would recommend this for ages 7+ I liked how there was a bit of background info for both of them because it was very cool. This was super fun to read and if you liked this book then I would also recommend The Hen Who Sailed Around the World.

Lord of the Nutcracker Men (Cascades)

Lord of the Nutcracker Men (Cascades)

By Iain Lawrence

LTNM is another war story by Iain Lawrence. Unlike B for Buster, which is totally HF, LTNM has a little bit of "magical realism" in it, where parts of the plot seem magical in some way. Anything by Lawrence is extremely well written.

I thought this book was very interesting. This nonfiction book tells everything about John Wilkes Booth's plan, the actual attempt, and the escape plan. The whole book (especially the escape) is in so much detail that it feels like you were actually there witnessing everything! It is also amazing how the author went into every single piece of evidence to support the text itself. My overall review is it is the best nonfiction book there is.

Night (Doubleday Large Print Home Library Edition)

Night (Doubleday Large Print Home Library Edition)

By Elie Wiesel

Wonderful book based on the author's real experience as a young teenager during the Holocaust. The story is graphic at times, but to tell the true horrors of this horrific event, these graphic stories must be conveyed. Great book to see just how unfair things could be and the grace in which to handle such adversity. (Religion is of course at the basis of this book. Elie does question his fate as it is happening.)
